Early photoreproductions sought

I am doing research on early photoreproductions (pre-electrostatic /
pre-Xerox) in library collections, and I could use some samples to
run experiments on. Some of the experiments will be destructive, so
I'm hoping to get discarded materials from libraries or archives. My
primary interest is diazotypes ("Ozalids"), but other useful
varieties include: aniline prints, positive blueprints, Vandyke
prints, pellet prints ferrogallic prints and Photostats.

These are likely to be found in short-run printed holdings from the
late 19th century to the 1980s. If you're discarding any, please
consider donating them to me! Thank you.
